Why has the PC community become such fucking trash, Holla Forums? I never thought I'd say it, but after nearly 15 years of playing FPS-s with a mouse + keyboard, I'm going back to consoles.
Primarily because that's where my friends are, but the fact that the community has turned to utter shit is the other big factor. 10 years ago, the PC community thrived; CS:S just came out, there were few to no faggots overtaking every single goddamn server and micspamming my little pony bullshit. WoW had just had the Burning Crusade expansion and all was right in the MMO industry. People were happy, I was happy and the Youtube craze hadn't fully taken off just yet. It was a simpler time, a better time.
Then, PewDiePie and his fellow army of faggots took to the internet and invaded every single fucking game. Counter-Strike, TF2 and the like died a slow and painful death because of how repulsive every single one of these "master race" faggots had become. Fucking hell, I had a machine which could run Crysis on all max at launch, I know how much better the PC can be than consoles when it comes to graphical power. However, I'm not talking about graphical power, I'm talking about community.
It's a fucking DRM system which single-handedly destroyed physical copies of games and became a breeding ground for some of the most cancerous fucking "indie" developers of all time. You don't own your games, you can't fucking trade in your games once you beat them and you automatically get assfucked by a regionlock by signing up, ON FUCKING PC.
And register them on Steam
Their sales are shit and often cost significantly more than their worth. Their bullshit return policy doesn't make it any better, either. Oh, and don't forget how they've managed to fucking introduce the "early alpha" garbage that's given developers a reason to release a broken game and then leave it to die.
I think you mean Steam is shit and every fucking part of the client is broken. You can be banned for """"harassment""""" now, which constitutes as having an opinion which is """""offensive"""". Not to mention the groups are full of meme spouting piles of trash from reddit.
I don't give a single shit about FPS if every fucking game released is either broken or full of fucking bronies. The best part of consoles is the fact that you're forced to play with friends, whether near or far, or else play by yourself. The lack of customization is also a plus in this day and age, because it discourages furfaggots from pissing and shitting throughout every single match. PC has its merits if you're willing to put up with it in the 21st century, but I'm fucking not. I don't have the autism or the patience to deal with this shit. I'm going back to consoles - fuck it.
A lower barrier of entry means an overall decline in competence.

The community has gotten much worse, now games reflect that with the immense impact of cosmetics and itemfaggotry tied with real world money over gameplay. That's like saying the USA is shit so you're going to Uganda, you're quite the retard.

Jose Edwards
You get the same retards on consoles. In fact, you get the even dumber retards since the only people who still play on consoles willingly support all the kikery, paid online, sub-20 FPS, amiibos and so on.
Then only play with your friends on PC? Oh wait, your friends are a pack of retards and playing their paid online boxes.
Yeah, that one is a problem. You know what you should do? Don't fucking support it. Pirate games that have it if you really want to play them for some reason. Also, you do realize that consoles have DRM too, right? Single player games like Bionic Commando 2 required you to be online back already back on PS3. It's only going to become more common since console fags are even more eager to get fucked than the average PC idiot.
You're probably baiting, but at least I won't have to meet your stupid ass online if you aren't. Then again I know the magic trick to avoiding meeting idiots while playing: don't play multiplayer games, or play them with friends instead of randoms.
Jack Perry
Retro Console Gaming is the best gaming community because of this. A lot of pcfags are casuals that only stick to this set of genres and don't even bother playing anything else: 1) Games that are made popular by e-celebs (not really a genre but you know what I mean) 2) Mobas 3) Shooters 4) Strategy 5) WRPGS

Never do these. Have fun by yourself. There are a fuckton of single player games out there, and if you're desperate for multiplayer play with some fags from here or something. All the PCfags I know are casual as fuck, and think they're hot shit because they watch LinusTechTips and spout halfchan and reddit memes. I accidentally told my consolefag friends I have a PS4, and now I'm stuck playing Destiny 2 because they need a 6th person.

I think how cancerous the PC community can work, because if the people you're playing with/against are faggots you can have your fun overcoming this extra challenge, while also making the avatar of faggotry mad, but if the people you're playing with/against are decent dudes then you'll probably end up making friends, no matter how short lived, and you'll be enjoying yourself more. I think someone a lot of online players forget, with them being caught up in the ranking systems and the matchmaking, meta, streamer culture and whatnot is that first and foremost your goal is to be having fun, not advancing in ranks or constantly winning. This is why no matter how good I think a game like Dota 2 or Smite could(keyword could) be, I'll never play them again because 95% of the community is pretty much anti fun, and after a while it rubs off on you and you yourself stop having fun and the other category of players is so rare it might as well not exist.
As for steam's great community and sales, I'm pretty sure these are just stupid memes. I honestly don't get the appeal of steam because usually the steam exclusive games are either AAA trash that I don't want to play or "indie" trash that I don't want to play either. Usually said trash is the broken or filled with brony shit you've just mentioned. I will say I fucking hate this full on kindergarten mode online has become now. Banter no matter how offensive and regardless of internet always spices up a game and for it to be limited to these flaccid insults like "u salty/mad" is pretty lame in itself and the fact that you have to watch yourself just so some thin skinned faggot doesn't go apeshit over you calling someone a nigger or being called a sandnigger gets offended on someone else's behalf and it ends up in someone getting banned or blacklisted.
Kevin Carter

Charles Harris
wow was really good for the first 8 years. best mmo and video came from 2001 to 2009. Nothing else was worth playing.
As Wow got ruined by expansions/patches so did the incentive to play video games. Real gamers simply stopped playing vidya once Wow became corrupt.
No exceptions. Dark Souls was okay though.
Jacob Brooks
Well for one thing consoles by and large don't have to contend with the ever creeping plague that is indie developers destroying quality standards. Secondly the console market still has the Japanese competition to concern themselves with, and if Japan can make quality games, and the West can't, the console market will once again become completely dominated by Japanese games, so there is still some pressure on them compared to PC gaming.
I think another big thing is that PC gaming is in a really bad place from a developmental standard because what the PC excels at providing for gamers that consoles don't, are games that provide significant entertainment over a long period of time, or really push the hardware to its limits to provide a truly unique experience. The issue is that you have to have a design team capable of creating this game, and the corporate backing to provide it the funds necessary for a really good game with todays technology. But since virtually every company wants any title they put big money into to be a multi platform title, we haven't had a game that is the equivalent of HoMM 3, Starcraft, Half Life 2, Quake, or so on for years. Games that you could play for years and still have fun with. Because no one tries to design or create games like that anymore due to marketing concerns.
So all the best games now are on consoles, since they are still more or less the same now as they were years ago. Games you could pick up, have a great time with, and then move on after beating a couple times. So we'll still get really good console games from time to time, since there are still talented people with a solid financial backing behind them who all have the same vision as to what the end product should be. That's why we can still end up with good games like Nier Automata on the console, but we pretty much never get a good PC game any more.
Lincoln Smith
this has never really been a thing on PC apart from a few exceptions like crysis. A lot of the PC's existence has been spending time catching up to what consoles did faster due to the different ways hardware is designed for consoles.

I just stopped playing multiplayer games, I really dont give a shit about playing online with people now since 90% of them are obnoxious retards that spout "dank, memes, lul" and other shit that makes them think that they're cool and hip. Then there's the cuckchan Holla Forums posters that think they're being sly as fuck by spouting "rare pepes" trump memes and spamming chat that makes then more unbearable than playing with a fucking BR, fucking secondhand embarrassment is fucking real, sometimes I believe they are the types to immediately apologize after getting banned and then go to whatever Holla Forums and vent about how cucked the devs of a certain game are.
I do not need social interaction in this day and age, which is why I just pirate my shit and play single player games in my own time while relaxing to some music.
Caleb Taylor
No one has mentioned that since they added hard drives and internet access to consoles, they are basically PCs now.
The only difference between PC and console gaming today is that 1) Consoles have shittier specs 2) Consoles have none of the hardware compatibility issues

(1) and done and everything, the people who are bumping and actually replying to this shit plus the consoleniggers defending it is whats depressing me the most.
This board used to be something special. And now its becoming rotten to the core thanks due to many good posters leaving after the Josh and Jim debacles coupled with the technical problems and now more and more cuckchan faggots flooding in and not adapting to the culture since they'll just go back to Hiroshimas embrace and their shithole as soon as their ban is lifted.

I bought a Switch in hopes of getting away from Steam. So far its working.
The tipping point for me was when they opened the flood gates but didn't curate anything. Their "we automate everything" approach doesn't work. I never liked Steam, I just tolerated them since there is no other option for PC.
After almost 20 years of PC gaming its not worth it anymore.
